Ars Technica get their mitts on the next version of Windows. Should we hold out hope that Microsoft will learn from the underwhelming reception of Vista?

Acording to them, its going to be out in 2009. But they say they are doing it too fast.

Internet Explorer is offering the Beta version for version 8. Anyone had a look? I saw it on someone elses screen and im at school right now, so no personal look.

They were oh-so-enthusiastic a while ago about integrating the web-browsing experience with the windows experience, so when are they going to integrate those features that we expect from new browsers? A choice of tabs or windows, mouse gestures, bookmarks, etc. Perhaps add-ons may be too risky security-wise, but the above would be nice.

Looks nice, reminds me of the OS on my Linux laptop

Already thought it looked a lot like OSX. A well they can have their microwave meal. People are going to stick with XP anyway now that it is finally ready for release
